Fans of boating races will be able to enjoy a slightly unusual one in Tuscany next month – it’s on land.

Tuscany property investors can see the Barchini Boat Race in the village of that name, where four crews, each representing a different part of the town, drag and push their vessel on wheels through three laps of the street circuit.

While there is no chance of anyone sinking, the event may provide much entertainment and is accompanied by many traditional festivities.

Apart from spectacles such as boat races on wheels, Tuscany property buyers may have many other reasons to be attracted to the region.

Included among these are the Tuscan wines of Chianti, Montalcino, Bolgheri and Maremma, Cellartours.com stated this week.

The firm also noted the culinary features of Tuscany, such as its olive oil, pecorino and ricotta cheeses, wild boar sausage and tiramisu.
